DEADSCAPE LYRICS

1. To Ashes

[Instrumental]

2. Forsaken

New day dawns under the same sky
Old lands caressed by the same sun
Into this world a child is born
Life form of purity, keeper of balance

The tides arise, no sign of calm before the storm
Once silent oceans rage forlorn, awakened
And you shall mourn, as the world moves on
Into the depths you stare alone, forsaken

Old shores, washed by the same waves
Footsteps, leading out from the sea
Will you be the light of the lost
Guide the misguided, cure the plagued

The tides arise, no sign of calm before the storm
Once silent oceans rage forlorn, awakened
And you shall mourn, as the world moves on
Into the depths you stare alone, forsaken

The tides arise, no sign of calm before the storm
Once silent oceans rage forlorn, awakened
And you shall mourn, as the world moves on
Into the depths you stare alone, forsaken

The tides arise, no sign of calm before the storm
Once silent oceans rage forlorn, awakened
And you shall mourn, as the world moves on
Into the depths you stare alone, forsaken

3. The Brightest Light

May the darkling sky
Sing this weary Earth to sleep
Come, my spring-born child
Lay your head

May the darkling sky
Sing this weary Earth to sleep
Come, my spring-born child
Lay your head onto my knees

Rest now, my dear
Let your burdens dissolve in the air
I can see the shimmering dawn
Drawing near

Into this mortal form
I'd kiss your peaceful lids
Like so many times before
I did in my dreams
In this mortal form
This frail shape
The brightest light was born

Of the deepest shade

Of the deepest shade

As the pale moon
Shines upon the seas of despair
To heal your bitter wounds
I'll be there... I will be there

Into this mortal form
I'd kiss your peaceful lids
Like so many times before
I did in my dreams
In this mortal form
This frail shape
The brightest light was born

May the darkling sky
Sing this weary Earth to sleep
Come, my spring-born child
Lay your head

May the darkling sky
Sing this weary Earth to sleep
My spring-born child

Rest now, my dear
Let your burdens dissolve in the air
I will wait 'til the shimmering dawn
'Til the shimmering dawn

4. The Artist

When you lie down, do you think of the Goddess
Creating the skies of night?
Closing your eyes, can you still see her picture
Drawn since the dawn of time?

The artist, the painter, our creator
She knows no sleep, nor rest
The giver, the taker, the art, and the maker
Breathing the life in you

The yield of her tears, the fruits of her pain
We grow by the will of her hand
If not for the brush, we'd know nothing but gray
No matter, no colour, no scent

The artist, the painter, our creator
She knows no sleep, nor rest
The giver, the taker, the art, and the maker
Breathing the life in you

The artist, the painter, our creator
She knows no sleep, nor rest
The giver, the taker, the art, and the maker
Breathing the life in you

5. Stillborn

Mountains have summoned me
I am the heir to their throne
Destined to rule this wasteland alone
The air that I breathe
The Earth down beneath
One last time, I'm coming home

I shall reconquer my kingdom
Winter, we shall reunite

Boundless sky above
Frozen fields below
Silent world
Within my heart stillborn

My voice shall live on
Through the birds and their songs

Boundless sky above
Frozen fields below
Silent world within
Boundless sky above
Frozen fields below
Silent world
Within my heart stillborn

Mountains have summoned me
I am the heir to their throne
One last time, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Boundless sky above
Frozen fields below
Silent world within
Boundless sky above
Frozen fields below
Silent world
Within my heart stillborn

6. In Desolate Silence

Devoted to night, we lie still,
Broken wings sway off our shoulders,
Halo once lightened our sight,
As time passes by, we grow colder...

... within, we're lost in the silence,
As cold as the darkest of waves
Beyond our distant horizons
In desolate silence, we fade! We fade!

The poisonous trail
Into my veins,
The coldest of blades impaled
Through my heart

Devoured by dark, we lie still,
No sign of life has remained
Somber at mind, harrowed inside,
Hopeless, we see no escape

We lie there, as if we were dead,
Watching the withered sky fall
This silence still haunts us,
The touch of its hand, we re-...

...call, we're lost in the silence,
As cold as the darkest of waves
Beyond our distant horizons
In desolate silence, we fade!

7. As Seasons Change

[Instrumental]

8. Witherer

Asleep
Run silent the streams
Fountains I reveled in not long before
Vanished the whisper of leaves
But shadows of solitude endure

As limber as birds
Seasons enlaced in their final dance
Glimmer the bridges I've burnt
With ashes for me to embrace

For me to embrace
To hold on to
Till twilight falls

And I
I wander alone
Chained to my ravenous mortal soul
The halls of the endless unknown
Open up to swallow me whole

Astray they unfold
Paths leading into the deepest dark
I'll go till there's no more to go
Bound to the cold in my heart

It's creeping inside of my bones
Untold desolation
What's there to hold dear anymore
And tell me, what's worth

How cruel is the fate of mankind
Deceitful, the nostrum of time
How luring this aching of mine
Mine to abide till I die

How cruel is the fate of mankind
How luring – this aching of mine

It's creeping inside of my bones
Untold desolation
What's there to hold dear anymore
And tell me, what's worth
Bleeding for

9. From the Colourless Skies

Our weary roots are searing
Still buried deep into the ground
In death-like sleep, we're dreaming
(Are we dreaming?)
In lifeless wells condemned to drown.

Sever the head that rises
Sever the wings that fly

In the colourless skies, capsized
Where our final goodbye is at sight
Song of the years gone by we sing
As we drink from the colourless skies
From the colourless skies

Sever the head
Sever the head that rises
Sever the wings
Sever the wings that fly
Sunder the bonds
Sunder the bonds, unbind them
Veil the eyes
Veil the seeing eyes

Our blackened eaves are crumbling
Our walls of sand come crashing down
Restless dream, turned to slumber
Endless slumber
A cage, unlightened by the sun

In the colourless skies, capsized
Where our final goodbye is at sight
Song of the years gone by we sing
As we drink from the colourless skies
From the colourless skies

In the colourless skies, capsized
Where our final goodbye is at sight
Song of the years gone by we sing
As we drink from the colourless skies
From the colourless skies

10. The Shadow of the Clouds

Into the thickening gloom
This hollow travel ends
Inside the soil's womb
I shall descend

A dying flame
A fire not meant to last
Towards the distant stars it hastes
Beyond the whelming dusk

We say farewell, bereft of guidance
We say farewell, stained

The sound of thousand tortured voices exploding
The wails of thousand wasted souls erased away

Oh, my grieving child
The hour is nigh to leave
With tales of days benign
To ease the pain within

For if we sail onwards
We'll face the darkest gale
And if we stay the course
We all shall meet our fate

We say farewell, embraced by silence
We say farewell, shamed

The sound of thousand tortured voices exploding
The wails of thousand wasted souls erased away
No shelter in this world will offer solace
Behold it sprouts, the shadow
The shadow of the clouds

I long to greet the morning
The scent of sodden Earth
I crave the tender breath of the dew
Against my anguished face

The sound of thousand tortured voices exploding
The wails of thousand wasted souls erased away
No shelter in this world will offer solace
Behold it sprouts, the shadow
The shadow of the clouds

11. Ending

Mother...
Dear mother, forgive us – we have lost our way
Grant us your wisdom – we have gone insane. Insane!

Yet another flower disappears,
The machines are drawing near,
Their goal is very clear –
To cleanse the world from life! From life!

Mother, we were wrong!
How could we forget you?
We betrayed your love!
How could we desecrate you?

For we made it this way
Through our self-destructive nature!
We're sinking in the dark,
Headed to our failure!

Our destiny's to fail! To fail!

Now all that's left is to lie dead, breathe dead,
Suffer our own lifeless ending!

Our destiny's to fail...
Mother... Dear mother, forgive us...
We have gone insane! Insane!

12. The Ever-Pouring Rain

Amidst forsaken ruins
A kingdom ruled by grief
Amongst the ashen dunes
Unyielding flower gleams

To lead again the rude
Across the wilted fields
Reveal the path anew
A flare into the mist

And they will see it bloom
The light of countless days
What once was lost shall be renewed
By the ever-pouring rain
